The internet is a network of cables that facilitates transmission of Data Packets
from computers all over the
world, In this network each computer is recognized by a globally unique address known as IP address. A special
computer DNS (Domain Name Server) is used to give name to the IP Address so that user can locate a computer by a
name.
Data Packets - It contains information such as(email,files,webpages) is being shared over a network.
Data Packets into 3 parts 1.Header - Sender/Receiver's IP address,Protocol,Packet no 2.Payload - Data 3.Trailer - Data to show end of packet,Error correction
Bandwidth - The speed of transmission of Data Packets,it is measured by bitrate(no of bits/sec) and latency(time taken to receive data)
Recipient - Receiver/Responder Sender - Requester
Each Device has it's own unique address called IP Address.
- set of rules used to communicate between machines. IP/TCP - IP routes information to proper address/TCP facilitates transmission of Data Packets. HTTP/HTTPS(GET/POST) - Facilitates communication between Web Browser and Web Server , HTTPS data packets are encrypted using SSL(Secure socket layer) or TSL(Transport security layer) certificates! SMTP - it's an standard protocol for Emails,Local/Outbound(Same domain or Diff domain delivery) FTP - File transfer between client and server within network.
LAN - a network within group or building or small area
WAN - a wide network works between cities or countries(internet)
- specifies a process of communication HTTP - 80 HTTPS - 443 SMTP - 25(default)/2525(secondary)/465(secured)for sending mails POP3(post office protocol v3) - to receive emails 110(default)/995(secured) IMAP(Internet message access protocol) - retrieving mails 143(default)/993(secured) FTP - 21
Firewall - Restrict and secures incoming/outgoing network connections
Intranet - It's a computer network sharing information within a group or organization.
ICANN(domain registry company) - Internet corporation of assigned names and numbers
TLD - Top Level Domains(.com,.org,net)
ccTLD(country code) - .us,.in,.ca
